E boundary walls
GV
II
Boundary walls to N and E sides of prison complex. 1848 and
later. Portland stone ashlar or coursed stone. Wall is in
three sections; from NW corner of the compound, immediately
adjoining boundary wall to the W (qv), a 5-bay section with
trapezoidal raised sections over broad flat buttresses
externally with segmental link at W end and c 40m to E with
broad gateway to segmental arch, voussoirs and keystone over
heavy plank framed doors forming main N entry, and immediately
N of entrance to E Hall (qv). Wall c 6m high then drops to top
level of plain section across full width of site at lower
level, here c 5m high, and with two arched openings containing
heavy plank doors, one of these at centre, immediately N of
Overseer's Hut (qv). At E end rises again and returns to S
with long plain wall parallel with E cell block (qv), and a
final canted section of c 25m to N of the Chapel. These
containing walls are significant as part of the overall
ensemble of Victorian prison buildings which they enclose;
they are interrupted by late C20 structures in the SE
quadrant, where considerable damage occurred during World War
II.
